List of Fair City Characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article describes the fictional characters that appear in the Irish soap opera Fair City, produced by
RTÉ.
[edit] Sylvester Garrigan
Garrigan is the notorious crime boss in Carrigstown. When he first arrived, he took over the deceased Billy Meehan's
criminal position and started a friendship with Carol Meehan. Anthony Farrell, Carol's boyfriend and Garrigan's solicitor,
suspected that they were infatuated with each other. Carol, disgusted by this allegation, dumped Farrell. The crime boss
revealed to Carol that he was illiterate and had an estranged daughter. Carol helped Garrigan in efforts to reconcile with
his daughter, but he ended up losing her again when she learnt of his criminal position.
When Mick O'Shea killed a gang member on Garrigan's orders, the gang kidnapped Ali, Mick's niece, and threatened to kill her
if he didn't assassinate Garrigan. Lorcan, Carol's son, who was in a relationship with Ali, was horrified but was eventually
persuaded to help with the assassination attempt. Carol and Garrigan were in a car when Lorcan appeared on a motorbike with
the shooter. As the shooter was about to pull the trigger, Lorcan realised his mother was in the car and rode off. The
shooter's aim was put off and the shot wounded Garrigan. However, he survived the attack and ordered Farrell to find those
responsible.
The Ukrainians were furious that Mick goofed up but, realising that Garrigan would have all his goons on their trail, they
released Ali and fled the country. After recovering in hospital, Garrigan discovered that Mick was behind the assassination
attempt and forced Mick to amputate one of his own fingers as punishment for double-crossing him. Carol, in an attempt to
protect her son from Garrigan's wrath, offered herself to him. Garrigan accepted and told her that Lorcan was safe.
Later an undercover agent, Rory, infiltrated Garrigan's gang and manipulated Carol into giving him information, by having a
sexual relationship with her. Armed with this info, the Gardaí raided one of Garrigan's booze runs. They also found drugs
which Lorcan was piggybacking on the booze run. Meanwhile Lorcan discovered that Rory was passing information to the police
but thought he was a police tout and not a Garda himself. Garrigan was furious that Lorcan implicated him in drugdealing
and, in a neat twist to punish Lorcan, he ordered Lorcan to kill Rory.
As the two men confronted each other, Lorcan fired the first shot, but Rory struck back with another, wounding Lorcan in the
process. Rory survived his ordeal, but Lorcan's days were numbered. Lorcan made a complete deathbed confession to the Gardaí
before he died in hospital. Garrigan decided to leave Carrigstown for the time being, but Detective Sergeant Byrne arrested
him and took him to a Garda Station for questioning.
[edit] Carol Meehan
The main female antagonist on the show. Carol owns The Galley and "Carol's Club" and has a taste for excitement and the
company of crime bosses. Previously engaged to Billy Meehan, who was unfaithful. Carol found out on her wedding day, vowed
vengeance and teamed up with Leo Dowling. When Lorcan killed Billy, Leo told Carol to pretend to befriend Tracy again. Carol
reluctantly agreed. Whether she is still pretending to this day remains to be seen.
Leo confronted Billy in a showdown and left him for dead, but the crime boss was still alive and attacked Carol. A
infuriated Lorcan appeared and killed Billy with a golf club. With Billy dead, Carol immediately went into action, tricking
Leo into believing that he killed him and using Leo to bury Billy's body on the outskirts of Carrigstown. Carol managed to
convince both Leo and Lorcan to keep Billy's death a secret. Carol, not wanting to be associated with Billy's criminal
empire, put Mick O'Shea in charge of "Carol's Club". On Christmas Day, Leo's conscience got the better of him and he found
himself at Billy's burial site. Carol was able to keep Leo under control, but months later, the Gardaí came across Billy's
body when a dog dug it up.
Detective Byrne and Sergeant Deegan tried to solve the murder of Billy Meehan. Although Deegan suspected that Leo was behind
it, Byrne sensed that Carol was involved. They soon discovered that Carol had been lying about receiving phone calls from
Billy, but the innocent Leo ended up in court for the first trial of Billy Meehan's murder. Before the trial took place, Leo
realised that he couldn't have killed Billy, but by then it was too late, as Carol feigned ignorance of what really
happened. Leo was wrongfully convicted for murder. When Pascal was taken to hospital, he urged Lorcan to tell the truth.
Lorcan went to the Gardaí and confessed everything. A few months later, Leo was released from prison. The second trial found
Lorcan not guilty. Carol began a relationship with Shay, but he was too boring for her and she broke up with him. Carol took
control of Billy Meehan's criminal empire and soon found herself wanting to be with another crime boss. She was given that
chance when Sylvester Garrigan arrived in Carrigstown to take over Billy's criminal position.
[edit] Lorcan Foley
Fostered by Kay and Malachy, it wasn't long before he went off the rails. He amused himself by breaking cars and taking part
in joyrides. When his true mother, Carol, showed up as a drunken woman, Lorcan soon developed a close friendship with her.
He killed Billy Meehan.
Struggling to keep his crime a secret, Lorcan confided in his friend Pascal. Lorcan joined the Irish Army as a result. The
first trial of Billy Meehan's murder found the innocent Leo being wrongfully convicted for murder. When Pascal was taken to
hospital, he urged Lorcan to tell the truth. Lorcan went to the Gardaí and confessed everything. A few months later, Leo was
released from prison. The second trial found Lorcan not guilty and he quit the Irish Army. Realising that his mother was now
in control of Billy's criminal empire, Lorcan saw his chance to become rich and Carol happily gave him the job of manager in
The Gallery. Mick O'Shea was furious about this, as he was now taking orders from a teenager.
When Kwame started selling drugs in The Gallery, Lorcan was escatic. Believing that he could give his new girlfriend Ali
everything that she wanted if he was rich, Lorcan allowed Kwame to sell drugs in exchange for half the profits.
When Mick O'Shea planned the killing of Alex, a gang member, he used his niece Ali as bait. Her job was to distract Alex
long enough for Mick's henchmen to arrive and terminate him. Unfortunately for Ali, she was forced to have sex with Alex to
keep him in The Galley. When Lorcan found out about this, he slapped Ali and told Farrell to get rid of Mick. Mick
reluctantly decided to leave Carrigstown, but he promised Ali that he would be there at her wedding. Lorcan forgave Ali and
they both made preparations for their wedding. On Lorcan and Ali's wedding day, it became apparent that Kwame had been
arrested by the Gardaí. Mick agreed to take the drugs, provided that Lorcan never orders him around again. Lorcan
reluctantly agreed and the wedding went ahead.
It wasn't long before Lorcan was caught up in another terrifying scenario. The killing of Alex came back to haunt Lorcan.
[edit] Ali O'Shea
Ali is the niece of Mick and the widow of Lorcan. Believing that he could give his new girlfriend Ali everything that she
wanted if he was rich, Lorcan allowed Kwame to sell drugs in exchange for half the profits. On Lorcan and Ali's wedding day,
it became apparent that Kwame had been arrested by the Gardaí.
After Lorcan's death, Ali told Carol that she was pregnant with Lorcan's child.
[edit] Gabriel Udenze
Gabriel was originally from Nigeria but had been living in London. He decided to move to Ireland to make a new start for his
family, as he was worried his son, Joshua, would become involved in gangs there. At first things went well and they took
over the lease of the Bazaar from Bela. It wasn't long though before things went terribly wrong. Joshua, was intimidated by
two racists, Pete Flanagan and Morgan Dalton, who were determined to make life a misery for Gabriel's family. Joshua was
constantly being bullied by Pete and Morgan and soon they decided to take matters further. On night finding Joshua alone on
the street they threw him onto the ground and sprayed urine on top of him. Joshua was forced to clean their shoes and say
that he was nothing. After this humiliation, Joshua decided to fight back literally. He saw Pete's car outside McCoys and
ran a key along the paintwork. Pete and Morgan then set the Udenze's van on fire in retaliation, but that wasn't enough for
them. They threw lighted papers into the Undenze's new house, not realising that Gabriel was asleep inside having just
varnished the floors. The house went up like a firecracker. Gabriel died of smoke inhalation as Pete and Morgan laughed.
They were soon arrested though and are now in prison, but Nina Udenze, Gabriel's wife, had enough of life in Ireland, and
returned to England. (She has since returned to Carrigstown for the trial of Gabriel's killers. It has not been revealed yet
if she will be staying on, or returning to England after the trial.) However, Joshua still runs the Bazaar and is determined
to see his father's dream of a future in Ireland through to the bitter end.
[edit] Dominic Kavanagh
Dominic is Kylie's father and is in a relationship with Tracy McGuigan. After his wife left him, Dominic became very
domineering over his daughter. One night when Kylie went out with Mondo, Dominic beat her up for coming home late. When he
framed Mondo for the assault, Dominic forced Kylie to tell the Gardaí that Mondo raped her. Mondo was arrested, but he was
later released and Kylie found herself trapped in Dominic's house. Mondo went over to the house and confronted Dominic. As
Dominic prepared to attack Mondo, Kylie warned her father that the Gardaí were coming. A furious Dominic tried to stop Kylie
and Mondo running away, but the two teenagers managed to escape. Kylie dropped the charges and moved into a flat.
When Tracy began a relationship with Dominic, she was horrified to discover that Dominic beat up his daughter. Dominic, in
turn, was shocked to learn that Tracy was once a prostitute. Dominic came by this information when Pete Flanagan left an old
newspaper in his letterbox. Tracey discovered Dominic's deception when his daughter Kylie told her the terrible truth.
Despite these revelations, Dominic and Tracey are now living together in a relationship. Tracy helped Dominic to reconcile
with his daughter, who has foolishly forgiven him for abusing her. It seemed that Dominic had changed his ways, but he
angrily told Pete to stay away from his family, so he is still very domineering.
Kylie's ordeal has caused Dominic to return to his old ways of dealing with his frustrations. When Kylie was walking down
an alleyway at night, she was attacked and raped. Dominic was determined to bring the rapist to justice. When Barry O'Hanlon
published an article on the rape in the local newspaper, Dominic informed him that his daughter was the girl who was raped.
Ken Fahey, having read the article, realised that he was in the same area where the attack took place. Ken apologized to
Kylie for not being there to protect her, but Dominic believed that this was an admission of guilt and confronted Ken. When
Ken refused to reveal the source of his information, Dominic thought that waiting for the Gardaí to catch the rapist is not
something he enjoys, so he decided to take matters into his own hands again. When Ken was attempting to return a mobile
phone to a girl in an alleyway, the girl thought that he was going to attack her and ran away. Dominic wrongly assumed that
Ken was the rapist and beat him up. With Ken unconscious, Dominic made an anonymous call to the Gardaí and told them that
the rapist is in the alleyway. As Dominic arrived home, he told a horrified Tracy that justice has been done.
Although Tracy was initially horrified by this, Dominic manipulated her into believing that Ken was the rapist. After
waking up in hospital, Ken couldn't remember who attacked him. When the Gardaí talked to Ken, they realised that there was a
rapist and a vilganite on the loose. When Terry was attacked by the rapist, Tracy told Dominic that Ken was in Rainbows Bar
at the time of the assault, so he couldn't be the rapist. Although Dominic was shocked by this, he shrugged it off,
maintaining that Ken was not seriously injured after he beat him up. Tracey, Dominic and Kylie went on holiday for a
weekend, but Dominic was still obsessed with hunting down the rapist. When Jo Fahey was intimidated by a homeless man, the
people believed that he was the rapist. Dominic suspected that the rapist was still out there. His fears proved true when
the Gardaí found evidence proving that the man couldn't be the rapist.
On Christmas Day, Dominic went out on patrol to hunt down the rapist. An infuriated Tracy tried to search him, but she was
attacked by the rapist. Dominic, having heard Tracy's screams, appeared on the scene and saved Tracy from the rapist's
clutches. An angry Dominic beat up the rapist and removed his balcavolea. The identity of the rapist was revealed to be
Tibbs, much to Dominic and Tracy's surprise. Detective Byrne questioned Dominic about the injuries that Tibbs sustained.
Dominic claimed that his actions were in self-defence. Dominic revealed to Kylie that he was the person who beat up Ken.
Tracy subsequently persuaded Dominic to tell Ken the truth. Although Ken threatened to contact the Gardaí, Dominic
manipulated him into believing that he was sorry for attacking him. Consequently, Ken decided not to report him or mention
that his daughter was raped to avoid upsetting her.
[edit] Seamus McAleer
McAleer is the President of a multinational construction company. He is Lauren's father and doesn't tolerate anyone who
treats her badly (her fiance William for example). He mentioned that Lauren was a somewhat spoilt kid during her childhood,
but this was due to the fact that Lauren's mother had died at that time and she would always swing her beautiful hair. He
believes that Lauren can sometimes be naive. When Lauren dated Mondo, McAleer gave him a job on condition that he stop
dating his daughter. Mondo reluctantly agreed and told Lauren the relationship was over, breaking Lauren's heart in the
process. When Mondo unwittingly witnessed a murder, he was forced to flee the country, as a hit man had been ordered to kill
him. McAleer, realising that Lauren was worried about Mondo, helped him escape to the airport just in time. McAleer began a
relationship with Orla Kirwan, while Lauren found a new love, William Russell.
William was Lauren's boyfriend, but that didn't stop him from having sexual relationships with Orla Kirwan and June
Pearson. June soon discovered that William was a cheat and dumped him. William continued his relationship with Orla, who
knew that Lauren was engaged to William. When Lauren became pregnant, William convinced her to have an abortion. Lying that
they were going on a holiday, they went to England for the procedure. At this time, Orla was becoming more like a spoilt
child, when she maxed out McAleer's credit card to buy clothes. McAleer's maid, Angela, found out about the affair and told
McAleer.
McAleer wasn't convinced but sent his gofor, Brian Byrne, to meet William and claim he had photos of his affair with Orla.
Panicked, William agreed to pay off Brian and this confirmed McAleer's suspicions. Furious that William and Orla were at it
behind Lauren's back, McAleer ordered his henchmen to teach William a lesson he would never forget. As William waited in an
underground carpark with the bribe for Brian, McAleer arrived with his henchmen and gave William a terrible beating. In an
ironic twist McAleer picked William's money off the ground and used it to pay off the henchmen for beating him! William
barely made it out of there alive and decided to flee Carrigstown for a solicitor's job in Naas. Orla tried to romance
McAleer so that she could stay in a relationship with him, but McAleer threw her out and Orla decided to move in with her
cousin Niamh.
[edit] Kylie Kavanagh
Kylie is Dominic's daughter. When his wife left him, Dominic became very domineering over Kylie. One night when Kylie went
out with Mondo, Dominic beat her up for coming home late. When he framed Mondo for the assault, Dominic forced Kylie to tell
the Gardaí that Mondo raped her. Mondo was arrested, but he was later released and Kylie found herself trapped in Dominic's
house. Mondo went over to the house and confronted Dominic. As Dominic prepared to attack Mondo, Kylie warned her father
that the Gardaí were coming. A furious Dominic tried to stop Kylie and Mondo running away, but the two teenagers managed to
escape. Kylie dropped the charges and moved into a flat.

revelations, Dominic and Tracey are now living together in a relationship. Tracy helped Dominic to reconcile with his
daughter, who has foolishly forgiven him for abusing her. It seemed that Dominic had changed his ways, but he angrily told
Pete to stay away from his family, so he is still very domineering.
Kylie's ordeal has caused Dominic to return to his old ways of dealing with his frustrations. One night, when her boyfriend
Slim left McCoys with another girl, Kylie headed off in the persuit of them and decided to take a shortcut through an
alleyway. This proved to be Kylie's undoing when she was attacked and raped there. When Tracy visted Kylie in her flat, she
told her what had happened the night before. Terrified of being alone in her flat, Kylie temporarily moved in with Dominic
and Tracy. With the help of Tracy, Kylie reported the rape to the Gardai. Fearing that the police would suspect him, the former prisoner Patrick asked Tibbs to be his alibi, as he was alone on the night Kylie was raped. Tibbs subseqently agreed. Ironically, it was eventually revealed that Tibbs was, in fact, the rapist, but Gardai seemingly have no interest in
questioning Patrick about this.
Dominic was determined to bring the rapist to justice. When Barry O'Hanlon published an article on the rape in the local
newspaper, Dominic informed him that his daughter was the girl who was raped. Ken Fahey, having read the article, realised
that he was in the same area where the attack took place. Ken apologized to Kylie for not being there to protect her, but

take matters into his own hands again. When Ken was attempting to return a mobile phone to a girl in an alleyway, the girl
thought that he was going to attack her and ran away. Dominic wrongly assumed that Ken was the rapist and beat him up. With
Ken unconscious, Dominic made an anonymous call to the Gardaí and told them that the rapist is in the alleyway. As Dominic
arrived home, he told a horrified Tracy that justice has been done.
Although Tracy was initially horrified by this, Dominic manipulated her into believing that Ken was the rapist. After
waking up in hospital, Ken couldn't remember who attacked him. When the Gardaí talked to Ken, they realised that there was a

at the time of the assault, so he couldn't be the rapist. Although Dominic was shocked by this, he shrugged it off,
maintaining that Ken was not seriously injured after he beat him up. Tracey, Dominic and Kylie went on holiday for a
weekend, but Dominic was still obsessed with hunting down the rapist. When Jo Fahey was intimidated by a homeless man, the
people believed that he was the rapist. Kylie was certain that her rapist had finally been caught and tried to socialise
with Slim and Tibbs, but she felt unsafe and subsequently went home. Dominic suspected that the rapist was still out there,
but Tracy was unconvinced. His fears proved to be true when the Gardai found evidence proving that the man couldn't be the
rapist.
On Christmas Day, Dominic went out on patrol to hunt down the rapist. An infuriated Tracy tried to search him, but she was
attacked by the rapist. Dominic, having heard Tracy's screams, appeared on the scene and saved Tracy from the rapist's
clutches. An angry Dominic beat up the rapist and unmasked him, revealing his identity to be Tibbs. Kylie was horrified to
discover that Slim's friend Tibbs was the rapist and subsequently broke up with her boyfriend, explaining that she couldn't
trust anyone who behaves like a junevile delinquent and hangs around with notorious criminals. Detective Byrne questioned
Dominic about the injuries that Tibbs sustained. Dominic claimed that his actions were in selfdefence. Dominic revealed to
Kylie that he was the person who beat up Ken. Tracy subsequently persuaded Dominic to tell Ken the truth. Although Ken
threatened to contact the Gardai, Dominic manipulated him into believing that he was sorry for attacking him. Consequently,
Ken decided not to report him or mention that his daughter was raped to avoid upsetting her.
When Dominic informed Kylie that Tibbs was pleading guilty to her rape, she decided to get back to work. While in The
Galley, Kylie met Kev and became infatuated with him. She told him about the rape and is now in a relationship with him, but
Kev has other ideas.
[edit] Billy Meehan
Billy Meehan, an antagonist, was Carol's boyfriend when he made his presence known in Carrigstown. He soon established
himself as one of Dublin's most notorious crime bosses. When Leo Dowling was setting up his taxi firm, Billy became his
business partner. This proved to be Leo's undoing when he discovered that Billy was using his taxis to transport prostitutes
to their clients. When Leo's wife Pauline suggested contacting the Gardaí, Billy threatened to add her to his collection of
victims if she dared to interfere with his plans. Unbeknownest to most of the protagonists, Billy now had Carrigstown
completely under his control.
Billy was engaged to Carol when he hit her, causing her to lose their baby. Billy manipulated Carol, so the engagement
continued. Billy Meehan was a sexual relationship with Tracy while he was engaged with Carol. When Carol found out on her
wedding day, she vowed vengeance and teamed up with Leo Dowling. When Pauline fled the country to avoid Billy's wrath, Leo
contacted the Gardaí and told them everything. Leo showed them documents detailing the criminals and prostitutes, who were
now driving his taxis. When Lorcan killed Billy, Leo told Carol to pretend to befriend Tracy again. Carol reluctantly
agreed. Whether she is still pretending to this day remains to be seen. When Leo confronted Billy in a showdown, he left him
for dead, but the crime boss was still alive and attacked Carol. It seemed that all hope for Carrigstown was lost, but an
infuriated Lorcan appeared and killed Billy with a golf club, ending the crime boss' reign of terror and freeing Carrigstown
of his control at last.

Barry is the editor for the local newspaper, The Northside Post. He usually interviews people and publishes articles on top
stories. When he first appeared in Carrigstown, he was a school teacher. Niamh Cassidy, a student in his class, was
infatuated with him and they had a passionate clinch. When Niamh lied that Barry seduced her, he nearly lost his job, but
she eventually told the truth. Later on, Niamh and Barry got engaged. Derek kidnapped her and Barry recesued her, but as the
wedding day was approaching, Niamh started to have second thoughts and she realised that she was in love with Paul Brennan,
who was Barry's best friend. The wedding was called off, but Niamh initially decided to stay in a relationship with Barry,
but she then broke up with him in public and continued her affair with Paul.

Principal. Barry began another relationship, this time with Sorcha Byrne. Unfortunately for him, he was twotimed once again.
Sorcha had an affair with Josh, a Leaving Cert repeat student. This revelation proved too much for Barry, as he once again
was overcome by depression. He lost his principal status and was committed to a mental institution. Barry talked about his
problems and he eventually recovered from his illness. He returned to Carrigstown and became a journalist.
When Barry published an article on the rape in the local newspaper, Dominic informed him that his daughter was the girl who
was raped. At this time, Detective Byrne began giving Barry information. Barry applied for the position of editor and was
given the job. Barry interviewed Dermot about the recent attacks. When the identity of the rapist was revealed to be Tibbs,
Detective Byrne told Barry about this. When Barry questioned Dominic about assaulting Tibbs, he shrugged it off. Byrne
explained that Tibbs was linked with the previous assaults, but he is certain that a viligante is still on the loose. Barry
suspects that Dominic is the vilgiante and is determined to prove this.

that they are playing with fire, the two-timers have found themselves irresistable. When Robin asked Paul to go out with her
cousin, he decided to do so, as Fiona had called time on their affair. A furious Fiona became jealous of Paul's new
relationship with Robin's cousin and demanded that he end it immediately. After being lured into her flat, Paul found

[edit] Heather Daly
Heather is a writer and is married to her husband Brendan. When Heather made her first appearance in Carrigstown, it became
apparent that she was Renee Whelan's longlost daughter. Renee's husband, Christy, forgave her for keeping the adoption a
secret. Heather soon developed a close feathership with her true mother. Unfortunately for Heather, she had been having a
relationship with Renee's son, Floyd, prior to recent revelations. They eventually decided to end the relationship. Heather
left Carrigstown for a while. She returned as a married woman to a doctor, Brendan.
When Brendan discovered that Heather had a relationship with her halfbrother Floyd, he was shocked and had a onenight stand
with Deirdre Burke, who is now the mother of his child. Heather became pregnant and gave birth to their child. When Heather
wrote a novel, The Good Sister, Brendan was shocked to discover that it was based on her relationship with Floyd. This
revelation proved too much for Brendan, when he started taking drugs. He gave Leo Dowling the wrong medicine, which nearly
caused his death. Brendan took off in his car to avoid the wrath of Leo's wife Lana, but he crashed and was taken to
hospital. Brendan and Heather finally put the Floyd saga behind them, but the past came back to haunt Brendan when Deirdre
returned for Christmas. Dermot and Jo, who were taking care of her child, invited Brendan and Heather to Christmas dinner.
Brendan made it through the day, but Heather still doesn't know that Brendan is the father of Deirdre's child and it's only
a matter of time before she finds out.
Heather, meanwhile, was planning on writing a book about the world of prostitutes. When Fareed, the father of his son
Hanni, killed the mother and sister, Zoe rescued Hanni and is now fearing for her life. Heather spoke with Tracy and was
intrigued to learn about this. After visiting Zoe, Heather got caught up in the police investigation when Brendan was asked
about Hanni. Brendan reluctantly lied to protect Hanni. Disguising herself as a prostitute, Heather infiltrated a criminal
gang and got a buzz for revealing her body to clients. One night as Heather was leaving a nightclub, a gangland leader
confronted her. Realising that she was in too deep, Heather escaped from The Leader and ran home. Later on, The Leader
turned up in a restaurant and intimidiated Heather, reminding her of her prostitute status. Brendan found clothes in his
car, confirming his suspicions of Heather being a prostitute. Brendan has reluctantly accepted her new status as a means of
writing her book, but he warned Heather to be careful.
When Renee began an affair with Bob, Heather was the first person to find out about the infamous love triangle of Renee,
Bob and Christy. Although Heather was disgusted by Renee's actions, she decided not to say anything to Christy. Months
later, Christy's mother Eunice found out about the affair and told her son. Renee admitted that she no longer loved Christy
and that Bob was now her true lover. Christy, disappointed by this, telephoned the children and explained what had happened.
Heather admitted that she had known about the affair for months. She befriended Christy during the World Cup, by watching
the event on television with him. Heather is still disgusted that Renee is in a relationship with Bob, but she has decided
to be civil with him to avoid upsetting her mother.
[edit] Ken Fahey
Ken is Dermot's brother and Geraldine's exhusband. When he was married to Geraldine, they had a son, Eoin. Since Ken was
infatuated with other women, Geraldine eventually dumped him for good and began a relationship with Mike. Mike despises Ken,
as he constantly turns up to talk and has set up a restaurant, Fusion, to rival the Bistro.
When Barry O'Hanlon published an article on the rape in the local newspaper, Dominic informed him that his daughter was the
girl who was raped.
Ken, having read the article, realised that he was in the same area where the attack took place. Ken apologized to Kylie
for not being there to protect her, but Dominic believed that this was an admission of guilt and confronted Ken. When Ken
refused to reveal the source of his information, Dominic thought that waiting for the Gardaí to catch the rapist is not
something he enjoys, so he decided to take matters into his own hands again. When Ken was attempting to return a mobile
phone to a girl in an alleyway, the girl thought that he was going to attack her and ran away. Dominic wrongly assumed that
Ken was the rapist and beat him up. With Ken unconscious, Dominic made an anonymous call to the Gardaí and told them that
the rapist is in the alleyway.
Ken woke up in hospital and told the Gardaí that he was inocient. The Gardaí realised that there was now a rapist and a
vigilante on the loose. Ken is the latest victim to fall at the hands of Dominic, who believed that Ken is the rapist. After
recovering in hospital, Ken suggested to Mike that he employ a chef named Maurice. When the identity of the rapist was
revealed to be Tibbs, Dominic admitted to Ken that he assaulted him. Although Ken threatened to contact the Gardai, Dominic
manipulated him into believing that he was sorry for attacking him. Consequently, Ken decided not to report him or mention
that his daughter was raped to avoid upsetting her.
When Deirdre Burke returned to Ireland, Ken was immediately infatuated with her. The two of them began a relationship, much
to the shock of Dermot and Jo Fahey. Although Dermot believed that the relationship would end after a while (Deirdre is only
in Ireland on a temporary basis due to her business), Jo ignored him and demanded that the couple split up. Ken, however,
revealed that he had bought a house for Deirdre, Eoin and himself. Deirdre's friend Orla spilled the beans about her
supposed child in Australia. Ken was shocked by this. Although Deirdre has been lying to Orla about having a child and a
boyfriend in Australia as a means of keeping Orla offtrack, her plan has backfired on her, resulting in Ken committing
himself to her. Ken has sworn to stand by Deirdre, but whether he learns the truth remains to be seen. When Geraldine
announced her engagement to Mike, Ken wished her happiness.
[edit] Tim Carney
Tim is Leo Dowling's childhood friend and business partner. He is married to a Russian lady named Olga. Their marriage was
arranged over the internet. Tim is very domineering over Olga. Leo's wife Lana suspected that Olga was unhappy. When Olga
and Sergei, Lana's brother, started a friendship, Tim became paranoid that they were having an affair. Sergei constantly
coming over to the house made Tim even more paranoid. Tim has warned Sergei off many times, and as a result Tim has gained a
catchphrase for himself. He can often be heard shouting "Stay away from my wife!" at various men, but most notably Sergei.
Sergei was worried about Olga and telephoned her several times, but Tim picked up the phone instead and Sergei hung up. Tim
installed a caller ID device on his phone to find out who is the anoyamous caller.
When Tim discovered that Sergei was making the anoyamous calls, he told Leo to warn Sergei to stay away. To prevent Sergei
from contacting Olga ever again, Tim disconnected the telephone line. When Tim's nephew Declan arrived in Carrigstown for
Christmas, Tim told him to accompany Olga whenever she left the house. Tim told a shocked Olga of his plans to buy another
house away from Carrigstown so Olga will be away from Sergei. When Declan left his mobile phone in a room, Olga used it to
call Lana for help. Although Lana and Sergei suspected that Olga was now a prisoner in her own home, Leo's main concern was
about his business, but he eventually decided to help them rescue her.
When Leo tricked Tim into going to McCoys, Lana went to see Olga. As Lana and Olga prepared to leave, Declan attempted to
stop them, but they pushed their way past him and escaped. When Tim returned to his house, Declan told him that he didn't
want to get involved with any disputes and subsequently left Carrigstown. Furious that Olga had left his house, Tim went
over to Leo's house and demanded to see Olga. When Leo refused, Tim spent the night in his car and got drunk. On Christmas
Day, Tim shouted at Leo to let him in. When the shouting continued for hours, Leo eventually had enough of Tim's yelling and
contacted the Gardaí. The police took a drunken Tim away. The next day, Leo was shocked to see the state of Tim and his
house. Tim revealed to Leo the origin of his marriage to Olga. When Tim promised that he wouldn't treat his wife badly ever
again, Olga felt sorry for her husband, so she decided to go back to his house, much to Tim's delight.
[edit] Tess Halpin
Tess was Damien's mother and Marty's husband. When she moved to Carrigstown, Laura, Mark and Damien accompanied her. Tess
had left England to escape the clutches of her abusive husband. Laura and Damien remembered the terrible times, but young
Mark could only remember the good times. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for Tess' family, but then Marty turned up
in Carrigstown. He explained that he was doing work there as part of his construction job. Marty eventually manipulated
Tess, Mark and Laura into believing that he had changed, but Damien remained suspicious. His fears proved to be true, when
Marty found himself arguing with Tess shortly after they remarried. Although Marty had been going to anger management
classes, he lost control of his temper and knocked Tess out. Horrified that he had killed her, a devastated Marty told
Damien that he was sorry and drove off in his car. The Gardaí chased after him, but he exited the car and jumped off a
bridge where he committed suicide.
[edit] Anthony Brady
Anthony is TJ's biologinal father. When Mags Kelly first met him on the streets of Carrigstown, he was a homeless man and an
alcoholic. Mags felt sorry for Anthony and gave him money to use for accommodation. At first, he wasted the money in McCoys,
but he eventually decided to give up the booze and begin a new chapter in his life. Although Mags' husband, Charlie, didn't
tolerate Anthony, he helped get a flat. When Terry and TJ returned to Carrigstown, it soon became apparent that Terry didn't
want Anthony hanging around the house. She revealed that he was an old friend of hers, but she was reluctant to say any more
details.
It transpired that Terry had an affair with Anthony 10 years ago just before TJ was born, so there was a chance that TJ
could be his son. Anthony soon discovered Terry's secret and was immediately overcome by happiness. Vowing to never drink
alcohol again, Anthony began presenting himself as the perfect partner for Terry. His wish to have a family of his own had
apparently come true, but Terry had other ideas. Terry told Charlie about the affair and convinced him that TJ is his
grandson. Charlie warned Anthony to stay away from Terry and TJ, but Anthony shrugged the warning off. Terry demanded that
Anthony leave Carrigstown, but Anthony refused to listen, maintaining that she and TJ will soon be his family.
When Mags returned from her holiday in Canada, Charlie decided not to mention Terry's secret to her. This proved to be his
undoing, as Mags invited Anthony to Christmas dinner. A frustrated Terry told Anthony to leave her and TJ alone, as he was
now following them everywhere. Terry eventually told Mags about her secret and tried to convince her that TJ is her
grandson, but Mags refused to be manipulated and suggested that a paternity test be done to determine who is TJ's bologincal
father.
Dr. Brendan arrived in the Kelly household and took DNA samples. The results of the paternity test proved that Anthony is
TJ's father. Mags and Charlie were devastated by this, but to hear this information from Anthony made them feel even worse.
On Christmas Day, Anthony thanked Mags and Charlie for their kindness towards him, but the couple accused him of being a
hyprocite. Anthony's only concern was about living with his new family, but Terry had no intention of letting this happen.
She and TJ subsequently left Carrigstown to escape from Anthony. Anthony, convinced that Charlie and Mags helped them
escape, demanded to given information on their whereabouts, but the couple knew nothing.
A few days later, Terry and TJ returned to Carrigstown. TJ learned that Anthony was his biologonical father. Anthony has
developed a relationship with his son, as evidenced when TJ enjoyed their trip to Funderland. Whether Anthony succeeds in
having a strong bond with TJ remains to be seen, but Terry has sworn that such a bond will never happen.
[edit] Malachy Costello
Malachy is the part-owner of the McCoys pub and is currently in a relationship with Sue. When he first arrived in
Carrigstown, he was a priest. Malachy was attracted to Kay, causing him to leave the priesthood. They got married. Fr.
Bertie warned Malachy to be careful, but he ignored him. Kay and Malachy fostered Lorcan Foley and helped him to turn away
from a life of crime for a while. When Lorcan's mother Carol showed up, he was eventually drawn into the criminal
underworld, resulting in his death years later. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for Malachy and Kay, but their first
truama nearly caused them to split up. When Kay became pregnant, she was shocked to discover that her unborn child would be
disabled. Convinced that bringing up a disabled child would be too stressful, Kay decided to have an abortion, despite
Malachy's protests. After the abortion took place, Malachy refused to talk to Kay for a while, but he eventually realised
the error of his ways and begged Kay to forgive him.
Kay forgave Malachy. Later on, Kay's nephew Stephen arrived in Carrigstown to escape the clutches of a cult. The leaders
demanded that Kay and Malachy hand him over, but they refused. Stephen told the leaders to leave. Angered that Stephen
betrayed them, the leaders dismissed him as an insignificant nothing and left McCoys. Stephen disappeared into obscurity and
his current whereabouts are now unknown. When Kay's old boyfriend, Danny Fitzgerald, turned up, he manipulated a series of
events in order to split Kay and Malachy up. Danny introduced Malachy to the world of gambling. Malachy found himself
getting a buzz from gambling and soon his addiction threatened to destroy his marriage. Danny's plan to win back Kay seemed
to be working, but he soon found himself on the run from an assassin. The assassin had been ordered by gangland leaders to
kill Danny, as he had stolen money from them. He was wounded by a gun shot, but he managed to make it to a hospital. Malachy
and Kay were in that hospital at the time. When Danny decided to leave the hospital, he was immediately assassinated,
putting an end to his plans to destroy the marriage of Kay and Malachy.
Not learning from Danny's mistake, Malachy stole money from gangland leaders to fund his gambling addiction. This proved to
be Malachy's undoing when the gangland leaders realised that their money was gone. Kay found out about Malachy's gambling
addiction. The leaders had enough of Malachy and destroyed the McCoys pub as punishment for doublecrossing them. Kay
eventually forgave Malachy. McCoys was reconstructed and Marty Whelan did the grand opening of it. Kay and Malachy employed
Stephen as a worker (he is another person named Stephen). As the months passed, Kay and Malachy found that they were bored
with each other. Malachy found himself attracted to Sue and they had a passionate kiss. Kay, in turn, was attracted to a
woman, making her a lesbian. Fr. Bertie's warning came back to haunt Malachy, as he realised that the priest was right all
along.
In the aftermath of Lorcan's death, Kay and Malachy tried to reconcile, but it soon became apparent that they were drifting
apart once again. When Kay found out that Malachy was attracted to Sue, she was furious, despite the fact that she was
attracted to a lesbian. Malachy bid Kay farewell as she left for Spain. Sue and Malachy began kissing in public, much to the
shock of the locals, despite the fact that the Kay and Malachy were unhappy in their marriage for some time. Sue's daughter
Beth was shocked to find them kissing in her house, but she wished them happiness shortly afterwards.
[edit] Mark Halpin
Mark is Damien's brother. When his mother Tess moved to Carrigstown, he accompanied her, along with Laura and Damien. Tess
had left England to escape the clutches of her abusive husband. Laura and Damien remembered the terrible times, but young
Mark could only remember the good times. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for Tess' family, but then Marty turned up
in Carrigstown. He explained that he was doing work there as part of his construction job. Marty eventually manipulated
Tess, Mark and Laura into believing that he had changed, but Damien remained suspicious. His fears proved to be true, when
Marty found himself arguing with Tess shortly after they remarried. Although Marty had been going to anger management
classes, he lost control of his temper and knocked Tess out. Horrified that he had killed her, a devastated Marty told
Damien that he was sorry and drove off in his car. The Gardai chased after him, but he exited the car and jumped off a
bridge where he committed suicide.
In the aftermath of the two deaths, Damien and Laura decided not to tell Mark the truth about what happened. Mark soon
discovered that Marty murdered Tess and became infuriated with his family. Damien allowed Mark to work in the Molloy garage
business. It seemed that everything was going smoothly for Mark, but it soon became apparent that he was being intimidated
by two bullies named Tom and Doug. When Mark was walking down a street, the bullies stole his mobile phone and took note of
his number. Damien's friend Suzanne appeared on the scene, causing them to give the phone back to Mark. When Mark told
Suzanne that the bullies were only "messing" with him, she realised that he was being bullied and informed Damien about the
bullying.
When Mark left his mobile phone in a room, Damien looked at it and was shocked to see a message on it. The bullies had
texted Mark, claiming that he had a "gay haircut". Damien told Mark to stand up to the bullies, but Tom and Doug warned a
terrified Mark that no one can stop the culture of bullying. They ordered him to do their homework for one night, making
Mark's day a misery in the process. When Damien encouraged Mark to go to the local boxing club, he was intrigued by the
boxers and was interested in doing some boxing exercises, but he found himself doing homework for hours due to the bullies'
intervention.
Unfortunately, although Mark managed to finish Tom and Doug's homework, he was unable to finish his own, drawing him into
conflict with his teacher Sarah. Since he was sitting next to the bullies, a terrified Mark decided not to inform Sarah
about the bullying and Sarah berated him for not doing his homework. Determined to teach Tom and Doug a lesson they would
never forget, Mark began training at the boxing club to make himself stronger. Infuriated that the bullies set up a website
to ridicule him, Mark told Suzanne about the website and revealed that he had no friends. Suzanne subsequently informed
Damien about this. A worried Damien told Sarah about the bullying. The school principal, Kieran, warned Tom and Doug that he
doesn't tolerate bullying. The website was banned from the school computers and the bullies were given detention.
After finishing their detention, Tom and Doug confronted Mark and ridiculed him, claiming that he depends on his older
brother to fight his own battles. Infuriated by the bullies' ignorance, Mark decided to continue his boxing exercises and
use his newfound skills to ensure their demise. After learning the robes from his coach Gerry, Mark confronted Tom and Doug
outside McCoys at night. Angered that they were preparing to bully him again, Mark punched Doug in the nose, just as Suzanne
and Sarah approached the pub! Mark subsequently ran away. The next day, Kieran summoned Mark and Damien to his office.
Kieran warned an unfazed Mark that he doesn't tolerate violence. Tom delivered Doug's death threat to Mark.
Tom and Doug challenged Mark to a fight, declaring that they alone deserved the mantle of fighter in the school. With the
help of his new friend Adam, Mark forced them to retreat, destroying the culture of bullying in the process. The students
celebrated as peace returned to the school. However, scaring away Tom and Doug proved to be too intoxicating for Mark. A
triumphant Mark quit his boxing exercises and began picking fights at every opportunity to demonstrate his authority. He
knocked out a lad for kissing a girl that he fancied and he has engaged in "friendly" fights with Adam. The students were
shocked to see the two "friends" fighting each other, but they dismissed the fight as a fun hobby.
After challenging a gang of older brothers, an overpowered Mark employed a different tact, establishing his own fight club
and choosing students his own age to fight with in a dip at school. When Kieran and Sarah became suspicious of fights being
held at school, they sent letters to parents and guardians, warning them about the fights. With the teachers on patrol, Mark
decided that the fights would be held at night instead of during school hours. When Mark defeated Vinny in a fight, he chose
Gina's son Sean as his next opponent. Sean's friend Pat tried to persuade him to back out, but Sean refused to listen,
maintaining that he would be able to avoid Mark's attacks.
Convinced that his friend was making a terrible mistake, Pat told Sarah and Kieran about the arranged fight. As night fell,
Mark and Sean fought each other, but tragedy stroke when Mark accidentally knocked Sean unconscious. Fearing that Sean was
dead, Mark and the club members ran away as Sarah and Kieran arrived at the dip. Sarah saw Mark in the distance and
recognized him. As the unconscious Sean was taken to hospital, a horrified Gina heard about the fight from Sarah and Kieran.
Thinking that Sean had died, Mark decided to lay low for a few days to avoid being arrested by the Gardai for murder.

helped her. Ramal began a relationship with Sholeh, but Fareed had no intention of letting Hanni go. In England, Fareed
recruited Karim in his scheme to kidnap Hanni. Karim discovered Hanni's whereabouts and hired a henchman named Abdul to
capture him. Disguised as Santa Claus, Abdul attempted to grab Hanni and escape in Karim's car, but Ramal turned up in his
car and stopped the criminals in their tracks. Karim escaped while Abdul was taken to a Garda Station for questioning. Later
on, Fareed was arrested by the British police. Sholeh tricked Karim into believing that she wanted him to take Hanni. When
Karim arrived to take him, the Gardaí arrested him. Charges were brought against Fareed's parents. Ramal and Sholeh became
engaged.

Keith to Niamh, she disliked him at first but soon found herself attracted to him. Unfortunately, Keith gave up on his
chance to have a relationship with her and began one with Una. Although he seems to like her, his true affections are for
Niamh. When Niamh's boyfriend Sean McNab met Keith, he was intrigued by him. It transpired that McNab was a bisexual and
attracted to Keith. Horrified by McNab's thoughts, Keith told him to stay away, maintaining that he is straight. When McNab
started to follow Keith everywhere, a terrified Keith told Niamh the disturbing truth, but Niamh refused to believe it and
slapped him.

into believing that he had no other family.
Rory actually had a wife and a daughter from a previous marriage. Suzanne found out about this while taking Oisin to a
bowling alley. A furious Sarah confronted Rory about this, but he manipulated her into forgetting about it. Sarah's father
warned her that Garrigan is a notorious crime boss. When Rory began an affair with Carol Meehan to get information, he
completely ignored Sarah. A frustrated Sarah eventually had suspicions of Rory having an affair when she saw him enter
Carol's house at night. Rory, of course, denied that he had an affair with Carol, and Sarah seemingly believed him.

his friend Slim. When Mondo met Lauren McAleer, he found love once again, but her father Seamus disapproved of their
relationship. He told Mondo that he would give him a job on condition that he stop dating his daughter. Mondo was forced to
call time on the romance, much to Lauren's distress.
Coincidentally, Mondo's next two ordeals were not his own doing, but the work of other people. One night when Dominic's
daughter Kylie went out with Mondo, Dominic beat her up for coming home late. When he framed Mondo for the assault, Dominic
forced Kylie to tell the Gardaí that Mondo raped her. Mondo was arrested, but he was later released and Kylie found herself
trapped in Dominic's house. Mondo went over to the house and confronted Dominic. As Dominic prepared to attack Mondo, Kylie
warned her father that the Gardaí were coming. A furious Dominic tried to stop Kylie and Mondo running away, but the two
teenagers managed to escape. Kylie dropped the charges and moved into a flat.
